The second treat is blue with the same white icing swirls and multicolored sprinkles. The third treat is yellow, also decorated with white icing and similar colorful sprinkles. The last treat is also pink with the same decoration style. In the background, there are light brown round objects and green leaves, adding a fresh touch. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

½ cup butter (softened)
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
½ cup miniature chocolate chips
½ pound blue candy melts
½ pound yellow candy melts
½ pound pink candy melts
½ pound white candy melts
Easter sprinkles

Instructions

Step 1: Place the flour in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes in 30-second intervals, stirring between each to avoid lumps. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth.
Step 3: Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 4: Add half of the cooled flour along with half of the sweetened condensed milk, mixing to combine.
Step 5: Add the remaining flour and sweetened condensed milk, continuing to mix until everything is incorporated.
Step 6: Stir in the miniature chocolate chips by hand.
Step 7: Shape portions of the dough (about 1½ to 2 tablespoons each) into egg shapes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 8: Chill the shaped dough eggs in the refrigerator for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour until firm.
Step 9: Melt the blue, yellow, and pink candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
Step 10: Using two forks, dip each chilled cookie dough egg into one of the colored candy melts, tap off the excess, and return it to the parchment paper.
Step 11: Repeat the dipping process to cover all the eggs with various colors.
Step 12: Melt the white candy melts and drizzle over the coated eggs with a fork or spoon. Immediately sprinkle with Easter sprinkles before the drizzle sets.
Step 13: Allow the decorated eggs to set completely before serving.

Tips & Variations

To ensure safe eating, heat the flour to kill any bacteria before using it raw in the dough.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt or a touch of cinnamon to the dough.
Use different colored sprinkles or edible glitter for a festive touch.
If you prefer, substitute the chocolate chips with mini M&Ms or chopped nuts.

Storage

Store the cookie dough Easter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month and thaw in the fridge before serving. They are best enjoyed chilled.
